Bill Summary
The statement includes a measure digest written in compliance with applicable readability standards. Digest: The Act would let the duty-related costs of the head of BOLI be paid out of the Workers’ Benefit Fund. (Flesch Readability Score: 68.0). Authorizes the payment out of the Workers’ Benefit Fund of the expenses of the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries in carrying out the commissioner’s statutory duties. Declares an emergency, effective on passage.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the existing Workers' Benefit Fund statute to allow the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) to use funds from the Workers' Benefit Fund to cover expenses related to their statutory duties under ORS 651.050. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision (section 1(2)(i)) that explicitly permits the fund to be used for paying the Commissioner's duty-related costs. The Workers' Benefit Fund, which is maintained separately from the General Fund, is typically used for various workers' compensation and labor-related expenses, such as disability benefits, vocational assistance, and enforcement of certain labor laws. The bill also includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage in 2025, which underscores the perceived urgency of allowing BOLI to access these funds for operational expenses. The change provides additional financial flexibility for the Bureau of Labor and Industries by allowing it to draw from the Workers' Benefit Fund to support its core functions.
